January 6, 1923	Shipping News	The S.S. Clyde left here on Tuesday for St. John’s after taking a quantity of cask fish for Mr. ASHBOURNE. She landed quite a lot of freight for firms here on Monday night. The good service rendered by the Captain, Officers and Crew cannot be excelled when considering the stress of weather this season, and they carry with them high recommendation and praise from all in the District. We wish them prosperity and a more pleasant future, plenty of sunshine during 1923. The S.S. Seal, Capt. CARTER, arrived here on Thursday landing freight to the amount of 300 packages which were long overdue and which were ordered for the Xmas trade.

January 6, 1923	Death (Part 1)	On Saturday morning last at about 2 p.m. there passed from the stage of action a much esteemed and respected citizen of Twillingate, Mr. William ASHBOURNE, in his 56th year. Mr. ASHBOURNE has been suffering for a long time from internal complications, and endured severe pain in his last days, although at the end, the burden became lightened when blood poisoning set in, after which he fell asleep in peace, and as the old year was nearing its close. Mr. ASHBOURNE has been conducting a large supply business at South Side and the Arm for about twenty years, and up till a few years ago, did business on North Side and at Herring Neck. Two branches are running at present at Twillingate, one at the Arm and one at the upper part of the Harbor, which with the headquarters on South Side, gives employment to a large staff of employees. He has seen many hard times, brought his business through safely although experiencing critical periods, especially during the latter part of the war and afterwards.
January 6, 1923	Death (Part 2)	His sterling qualities as a financier and builder of a Mercantile business has never been excelled in the Colony, even though he has at times had to be a scrutinizer, and when using stern measures, perhaps for the good of those who might have complained justly according to their view point; but to handle the reins of a complicated enterprise, we think the late manager knew what was best for the relief of the business. Being the bulwark of the undertaking, he was a shrewd, keen economizer and used his convictions as a firm, stable and wise citizen. He was a member of the Masonic and Orange Lodges and was accounted for his noble philanthropic work in this section, and many can testify to the aid lent them through his able assistance. He is a friend to the widows, was highly esteemed, and on all occasions when help was needed, was ready to help. He was not without his faults, as all are afflicted more or less with this malady, and we as a former employee, tried to forget the abruptness and give him credit for his pluck and endurance, knowing that it took a man of strong will and energy to engineer the large trade.
January 6, 1923	Death (Part 3)	Those who have had long periods of dealing with the deceased, give vent to their feelings and outwardly commend him for his past efforts to assist the community as best he could, and talk sympathetically of the loss of a true friend. Mr. ASHBORUNE leaves a widow, 6 sons – Thomas, Elmo, Ernest, Harold, Ralph and John; four daughters – Violet, Gladys, Lucy, Marguerite; also a mother, Mrs. Mary ASHBOURNE, living at the Arm, with the brother, A.G. ASHBOURNE, who has assisted as right-hand man in the business, and who feels the loss very keenly. Four sisters – Mrs. John HODDER, Mrs. (Dr.) LeDrew, Mrs. Peter GRIMES living here, and Mrs. William SCEVIOUR living at Toronto. His remains were laid in the Arm, Methodist Cemetery, after service was held in the South Side Church, where the Rev. J.A. WILKINSON preached from the text, “Let not your heart be troubled.” A large gathering attended the services and had the day been fine, we believe all who could would have been present. The SUN extends its sincerest sympathy to the bereaved widow and all the family and relatives in their heavy loss.
January 6, 1923	Court News	A case is occupying the Court today in relation to a family quarrel when an industrious and hard workng woman, was handled very roughly by a male member.

January 6, 1923	At Greenspond	Whilst the marooned passengers of S.S. Prospero were spending the time in Greenspond, a sale of work and tea was held by the Methodist folk, under the supervision of Rev. G.L. and Mrs. MERCER. A old resident there in the person of Mr. Wm. LANG, who at one time spent a couple of years here, attended the sale and spoke to many around the building, and appeared very active in his 80th year, and was enjoying life cheerfully. A three mast ship about 1 foot in length, which was built by him, was on exhibition in the ante room, encircled with mirrors, and a fee of five cents was charged to the onlookers. Mr. LANG remembered about some of his friends here, and among them Mr. A.J. PEARCE. He referred also to many deceased Twillingaters. Many of the passengers had an enjoyable time with the Greenspond folk and all fared well with the inhabitants.
January 6, 1923	Lost	A gold watch between Post Office and Hodge Bros. Finder please leave same at office and receive a reward.
January 6, 1923	Chinaman Hanged	Wo Fen GAME has paid the penalty of his crime and on Dec 16th at 8:09 o’clock, the trap was sprung by the Hangmen as ordered by the Sheriff of the Supreme Court, after which the body was interned within the wall of the penitentiary. The prisoner walked with firm step to the place of execution, but when he saw the masked hangmen appear he seemed to be somewhat moved in spirit, feeling no doubt, that that ordeal was soon to be brought to bear upon him. After death came, an examination was made by the Doctors to be sure that the sentence was rightly carried out, and thus ended the final chapter of life for Wo Fen GAME.
January 6, 1923	The Accident to the Prospero	The S.S. Prospero stuck on Horse Island Rock while in charge of 2nd Officer George SAUNDERS, and according to the City dailies, it is claimed he carried out his instructions given him by the Captain, but according to some of the passengers, the Mate altered her course a point or two. However the ship was kept too close to the land, and we feel sorry for the Office in the error of judgment, as he is reckoned to be a sober man and a worthy member of the Prospero’s crew, having taken a share of responsibility in the Captain’s watch on the bridge. He has been lowered a step and is now Bos’n. The Prospero arrived back to St. John’s on 26th of Dec. and will be docked for repairs.
January 6, 1923	Mail	The first Overland Mail for the season left here on Thursday in charge of Messrs. GREENHAM.

RONSELL, Father TIBAULT, Wm MURSELL, Ray OSMOND, B. NORRIS, J.J. NORRIS, K. LUSK, B. BOYLES, Mr. MACDONALD, P. BROOKS, S. SPURRELL, J. BRAGG. S.S. Seal, Capt.

January 6, 1923	Shipping News (Part 2)	The Schrs. Utowana and Emblem of Hope have now been cleaned out and put in position for the winter. They may be repaired if the Insurance Club deem necessary and considerable work is needed on them. They went ashore on December 23rd in the E.N.E. gale. Capt. Andrew ROBERTS has been engaged with crew removing the Emblem of Hope from her critical position on Pearce’s Rock, and had her put in Earle’s Cove. The salvage of fish from Utowana was begun by Capt. Isaac GREENHAM and 15 men, who managed to land about 700 qtls. They afterward gave up, owing to some differences with the Insurance Club and the Wreck Commissioner, and the rest of the cargo was removed by Capt. A. ROBERTS and a crew of 22 men, part of whom were engaged on the Emblem of Hope, and through the up and downs of bad weather and ice conditions, managed to pull through. The men did nobly and all are to be commended for their work, and seeing also that they forfeited their Xmas holidays to safeguard floating property.

January ?, 1923	Note from Relieving Officer	Mr. WHITE, Relieving Officer, writes that he is willing to hear complaints regarding destitute cases. We hope all who know anything, and who are serious for better conditions, will carry their information direct to the R.O. It’s useless to complain and yet keep it from the proper authorities. The suggestion given last week for a committee, was on account of complaints of people who are able to carry supply of relief over for future consumption, showing that they are not in dire need and showing also a need for certification of cases through a Clergymen or a committee appointed by someone, to ascertain who shall get relief or not, knowing that the Relieving Officer is not responsible for any fraud on the part of dishonest seekers of food, but help might be given when someone investigated the conditions of the applicants.

January ?, 1923	Accident	Mr. Fred STUCKLESS, son of Mr. Martin STUCKLESS, had a nasty fall yesterday whilst driving home in a horse cart.

Dr. WOOD was called for, and Fred appeared somewhat better though a bit drowsy.

January ?, 1923	Work	Some of our labourers at the woods claim they are doing well and getting $30.00 per month. Surely this is better than staying at home and eating Government flour and molasses, with an occasional pinch of tea. Some of course prefer the new yoke of bondage.
January ?, 1923	Schooner Burnt	Schr. Port Union, partly loaded with herring, was burned at the waters edge at the wharf at Port Union a few days ago and sunk.
January ?, 1923	Personal	Mr. Walter GARD writes and feels proud that he learned the printing business at the Sun Office. He is doing good at the Herald Office at Montreal and works from 7:30 to 4:30 daily, except Saturday, when work is closed at 10:30.
January ?, 1923	A Dog's Memory	Dr. GRENFELL tells the following story of the memory of a Labrador sledge dog. These dogs are, he says, very little better than wolves. They can stand any amount of cold. He has seen a dog working when it was so cold that he had to rub the frozen breath off his face to see the track. They have a wonderful instinct for finding the way. Once he had to go a journey of seventy miles across country. There was no track; he only knew the general direction. The leading dog had been once before, a year ago. What with snow and fog the journey then had taken three days, bad going over the frozen lakes and through woods, Dr. GRENFELL had never been before, so he left it to the dog. He took them across in twelve hours, counting rests, without a singe fault. – Ex.
January ?, 1923	Narrow Escape for a Watch	Mr. W.J. ANDREWS of Crow Head picked up the watch asked for last week and he says it had a narrow escape. While going up the street, he saw the chain partly covered in snow by Earle Son’s store, and a horse was standing over it and was very nearly smashing the lace of the watch. Mr. ANDREWS says, perhaps the horse was preserving the watch to see how much longer his master was going to keep him in the cold. Any how, advertising pays especially when its power resurrects $30.00 watches.
January ?, 1923	In the Court	The case which occupied the court last Saturday was in consequence of a complaint of assault on Mrs. J.A.S. PEYTON, by her brother-in-law, Mr. Wm. PEYTON, who was fined $5.00 and costs, and giving easy bonds to keep the peace for 1 year. It appears Mrs. PEYTON attacked the defendant also, and owing to her consideration, Mr. PEYTON was lightly fined. We say that the defendant, after giving evidence, secured sympathy from the public, and applicants for bonds men, who volunteered to assist, after circumstances were considered, were expected. M.A. MANUEL and Mr. Fred WHITE signed as bondsmen, as did also the defendant.
January ?, 1923	Marriage	Mr. Alfred YOUNG was married on the 4th to Miss M. WHITE of R. Point.

The SUN extends its sincerest sympathy to the bereaved widow and all the family. Dearest father you have left us, you are taken from our home, But you’re gone to be with Jesus, Safe where death can never come. Though our hearts are filled with mourning, Mercy still is on the throne, With they smiles of love returning, we can sing Thy will be done.

January ?, 1923	Fire at Little Bay Islands	Mr. J. MURCELL’s dwelling house at Little Bay Islands, was destroyed by fire on Christmas morning. Mr. MURCELL was on the Portia going home and was shocked to find, on entering the harbor on the following day, that his house had gone. Mrs. MURCELL and family barely escaped with their lives, as all were in bed when fire broke out at about 4 a.m. It is thought a new grate, put in one of the rooms, was faulty and fire got to the woodwork somehow. All got out of the burning building without a scratch, but it was a difficult problem, as the fire gained great headway before the children were aroused. Nothing was saved but the nightclothes with which they were clad. It is said that there is only $2,000 insurance on the dwelling and it must have cost, with furniture and all, somewhere around $6,000.
January ?, 1923	Successful Candidate	The successful candidates in the recent examination for the B.A. degree of the University of London, included in the Honours Division, Miss Marion Stuart TEMPLE, daughter of the late Rev.

It will be impossible for the delegates of the United Fishermen, to get to every place, and therefore we urge every man who wants to save his country, and be able to live in it, to give their support to the movement. On behalf of the Committee, Jesse WINSOR, Chairman.
January ?, 1923	Fuel supply	Considering that fuel is badly needed in Twillingate, why not ask the Department of Public Works or Public Charities, to supply funds to help the unemployed to cut wood and haul down. Flour and a little flavour is useless for people to work continually on, but feed the industrious well if they can save the fuel situation. Many have nothing to burn and this is a sincere situation considering the long winter ahead.

It was found that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the local authorities in proceeding with the case, and that it was a case of mutiny, and self-defense on the part of the Captain and Mate. Captain REMUSSEN stated to the Danish Consul, that while on the way to Harbor Buffett, the sailor, a big strong man, came into the cabin, while him and the Mate were consulting the charts to verify the ships position, and complained that they did not know the course. He struck the Captain and twice barred them down, while he took charge at the wheel. The Captain, after being beaten by the man, took the gun and fired, the shot going into the sea. He again loaded, and when again attacked, the gun went off in the scuffle when trying to get on deck. The sailor was wounded in the arm and went forward to have a bandage put on, but after much loss of blood the man died within two hours. The vessel was then driving off a little and she was afterward brought into Hr. Buffett, but took five hours as the wind was against them.
January ?, 1923	Masonic Installation and Investure	The installation of the Worshipful Master and the Investure of the other officers of Twillingate Lodge No 2364 E.R.A.F. & A.M., took place in the Masonic Temple, December 27th, the ceremony being performed by W.

And later in the evening an entertainment which was provided by the brethren and their guests, interspersed by singing recitations, gramophone selection and game, which was most enjoyed to all present.
January ?, 1923	Shipping News	The _______________________Wednesday ________ and took a few packages for North. Mr. A. H. HODGE, Capt. E. ROBERTS, Capt. Wm. OAKE and crew came by the Portia. She brought a mail and proceeded on to La Scie, Coachman's Cove, Jackson's Arm. One of Mr. ASHBOURNES schooners the Tidal Wave, was towed by S.S. Seal from Seldom to Catalina, the others are still frozen up. The Lilly A. W’s freight was transferred to the Portia for La Scie. The Schr. Scotch Cure was taken by the Seal in the Run and towed to Seldom. She was adrift and crew landed, leaving her in the ice, boarding her as the Seal came along. Mr. KNIGHT’s motorboat, Quickstep, from Morton's Harbor is now moored up for the winter. She came down last week to take freight but owing to the ice moving in, was unable to get back. Mr. Fred FRENCH was also here, and with the Messrs. KNIGHTS he left again for home overland. Chief Officer John BUTCHER and others of S.S. Clyde arrived last week and reported that the Home had a stormy passage to St. John’s carrying away jib boom, figurehead and grating from the quarter. The Home had a quantity of herring from LaScie and did good work North this season. Crew of Schr. LaBerge also arrived by Portia this week. Mr. Jas. ANSTEY and others of Schr. Grace arrived last week. Mr. ANSTEY took charge of the mail that was landed in Back Harbor and had some trouble carting it to safety.
January 20, 1923	Body Found	Mr. David BURGE’s body was located on Monday Jay. 8th by Mr. Noah WHEELER of Saltons, who jigged the remains from the water off Black Island Main Tickle, after a long search. Many men were on the trail, and upon evidence gathered as to the whereabouts, when a cap was found on the ice, made it easier for the search party to do their bit. Mr. BURGE was about 65 years of age and was noted for his untiring efforts and hard toil to maintain a family. His conservative manner, however, may have caused him loss of opportunity to make living easier than it was for him. He was noted too for the great risks he took when traveling, especially on very weak ice, when action seems to have hastened his end. He leaves a widow, four sons, Thomas and Lewis, both married, Adolphus and Garland, unmarried, one daughter we understand is out of the country. To the bereft we offer our condolence in the loss of a good natural husband and father.
January 20, 1923	Help us Out	Anyone bringing firewood from the Bay for sale, no doubt would make quick sales. Why not some of the folk, who live in nearby settlements, try to supply some of the needy who are short of fuel. No doubt many would like to purchase wood should prices be reasonable. Anyone in the Bay who wishes to subscribe for the SUN who find cash rather hard to get, are at liberty to bring a quantity firewood for 1,2 or 3 years subscription.
January 20, 1923	Schooner repairs	The work on the Utowana has been hampered somewhat owing to neap tides coming on, but as the high tides made, the schooner has been refloated and after a hard struggle, safely beached in the cove for repairs. The ice had to be broken up to make a channel, and those who cross the harbor must beware of the section between Pearce’s Rock and the Ariceen and on into the Cove off A. Roberts’ wharf.
January 20, 1923	Coastal Boat	The S.S. Portia passed here on Tuesday morning on way to St. John’s calling at Fogo, Seldom and other points. Much freight was carried back belonging to firms here and some did hardly approve of her passing this place, as clear water extended up to the wharf. It was stormy at the time and with the Easterly wind the Captain may have feared being caught again for a third winter hang-up. Being in touch with Fogo by wireless, he no doubt ascertained conditions off Cape Fogo, and took the chance out, then offering, fearing North Westerly the following day, which we had. However if he had given us a few hours here until weather cleared, he might have been just as fortunate in getting along, as the wind veered around to the South on Tuesday night.
January 20, 1923	New from Port Union	Several men of Port Union were presented with a recognition of their bravery from Mr. COAKER for their great courage and persistence in their efforts to quell the fire on the ship “Port Union” which was recently destroyed at that place. One Nathan DYKE, at the risk of being drowned, crawled over boards laid on the slob and snow, and reached the burning ship with a rope, which enabled the fire fighters to haul a dory through the slob. After three hours hard work their efforts proved in vain and the ship had to be abandoned to the flames

January 20, 1923	Body Exhumed	A case is being investigated at Avondale and the body of a women taken from the tomb and is being sent to St. John’s for post-mortem examination. It is claimed that the women died as a result of neglect and foul play during confinement. Detectives are busy and it appears the mystery will be cleared up.
January 20, 1923	Near Fatality	What was very near another fatality on Thursday also, was when a horse took fright belong to Mr. Daniel HAMLYN of Crow Head, when several men were thrown down, and some wounds were inflicted. The horse made up North side in quick time and was rounded up by Mr. Brett HODDER, after crossing the bridge. Of course, accidents will happen even amongst teamsters.
January 20, 1923	Letter from Nailbag	(Editor Twillingate Sun) Dear Sir, - Will you please allow me a little space in your paper for a few remarks about this place and the way relief is being given out. Tis ask and have down here, whether they want it or not. It is said that down Pike’s Arm the people go for it for fun. Even the Mailman gets it, the one that carries the mail from Pike’s Arm to Herring Neck. Not a stroke of work being done for it. What is the Government going to do, make all hands lazy? There is lots of work to be done. The canal at Pike’s Arm wants plenty of timber, bridges are falling down, and yet not a thing is being done for this relief. Shame on the Government for giving people this relief for nothing. It is something like COAKER when he started the F.PU. when the fishermen’s wives were going to wear silk, and all the Parsons and Doctors wear white nailbag gurneys and moleskin paints. The country needs a change and I hope that we will soon have it and the people work for their relief. I expect when they have to work for it you won’t see so many going for it. A NAILBAG, Herring Neck, Jan 15th, 1923
January 20, 1923	Death	That last enemy which is sealed for destruction – death – has again taken another from our midst, Mr. Martin GILLETT in his 77th year. He has been suffering for many years with kidney disease and being of strong constitution he was able to get around fairly well, 'till about two years ago, and for over a year kept to his bed. Mr. GILLETT’s occupation was found in the carpentry line and as a finisher and painter he was widely known. Many houses give testimony to his handwork in graining, plastering and chimney building. He was a brother to the late Wm. GILLETT who was killed at Tilt Cove a few years ago. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Arthur Young, with whom he spent his last years.
January 20, 1923	Death	Death visited the home of Mr. & Mrs. Willis CLARKE, on January 6th and took from them their youngest child Jonas, at the age of six months. “Two little hands crossed over the breast, Two little feet lay down to rest, Two little eyes in slumber closed, Oh how we miss him none but God knows.”
January 20, 1923	Death	Another aged Twillingater in the person of Mr. John TROKE, passed away on Monday at the age of 73 years. His occupation was with the many who engaged in the fisheries here, and was a skillful worker. He leaves behind to mourn a large issue – four sons: George, John, Lewis and James. A daughter Mrs. Theo. BROWN at Summerford. His remains were laid in the Arm Cemetery on Wednesday after service was held in the South Side Methodist Church, Rev. J.A. WILKINSON officiating. To the relatives and families of all who have been called upon to mourn, the SUN extends sympathy.
January 20, 1923	Birth	At 407 South Side Road, St. John's, on the 12th, a daughter to Const. Fredk and Jean CHURCHILL.
January 20, 1923	Advertisement	A boy to run messages and to be generally useful for shop work. Apply to E. ROBERTS & Co.
January 20, 1923	Capital Punishment	Literary war is waging against capital punishment, owing to a very crude hanging which took place in St. John, NB when executioners bungled. Newspapers in this country are taking the matter up also. The disregard for a law of “an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth” is becoming very keen.
January 20, 1923	Marine Disasters Fund	After the disaster of the Southern Cross and Newfoundland came in 1914, the Marine Disasters fund reached the high mark of $300,000, and was raised at a cost of only thirty six dollars for making and handling the appeal. Last year 47 widows, 4 mothers and 198 children of seamen who have found watery graves, were helped by that fund.
January 20, 1923	The Gauntlet Thrown Down	United Fishermen’s Movement Challenges F.P.U. – Missionary Campaign about to begin – Special to Evening Telegram – Greenspond, to-day. Another big United Fishermen’s meeting held last night. Glover Hall crowded. Resolutions passed unanimously without a question raised. People more determined than ever to support the movement for topping off moldering branches of the Civil Service and reduction of taxation. BRAGG, WHITE and myself, with three from Wesleyville, will start canvassing the country preaching the doctrine of Liberalism from the thralldom of excessive taxation, and the ushering of an era in which we may live as of yore. Walter CARTER
January 20, 1923	In the Court	On Wednesday a case was heard by the Magistrate in reference to malicious injury of property, known as Minty’s Farm. Messrs. John FLYNN, Louis LEGGE and Eli EARLE were summoned by Mr. J.W. MINTY. Mr. EARLE was absent through sickness, the other two defendants admitted charge of wood cutting, and were fined $5 and costs or 14 days in gaol. They, however, were released as the fines were paid. The Magistrate reprimanded the defendants, informing them that if they or any other person appears before the Court in future on the same charge, the fine will be heavier.
January 20, 1923	House Damaged	What was near being a bad affair on Thursday morning, was averted when folk rushed to the scene of fire at the home of Mr. Robert LAMBERTS. The fire broke out between the chimney and the end of the house and it was hard to locate the cause, but it is supposed there was a leak in the chimney somewhere. Though the dwelling was saved yet quite a lot of the household effects were damaged by water which was thrown in to save total loss. Considering there is a Fire Insurance Co. in Twillingate, we think all who can should be somewhat protected, and a five or ten dollar bill would help considerably, should one suffer by loss through fire. To lose a house with its contents would be a serious blow to folk these days.

The reason is that ore shipments to Germany have been stopped, owing to the action of France in entering and taking possession of the Rhur Valley coal fields in Germany. It is not known how long the suspension will be. The governments are actively engaged to see what can be done. Hon. Sir R.A. SQUIRES last night referred to the closing down of Bell Island, and said that the country must see to it that the shut down shall be only for a short period.

January 20, 1923	New Bay Needs the Change This Fall	Will you please give me space in your much esteemed paper The Twillingate Sun, on what Government is doing in New Bay. First of all it’s making people lazy and destitute. Mr. so and so saw a great need for to have something for a tonic for next fall’s elections. Send down 40 barrels of flour to walking committee at New Bay for to cut sticks for a wharf. Notre Dame Bay don’t need the Government flour. The A.N.D. Co. can give us all the good living we need if we are not too lazy to work, and not to watch from the side of S.S. Seal, to see if their eighty barrels flour comes out at Government wharf at New Bay. Such men as this should perish. Now come on boys, let us have a change. Don’t let ? Eaton Guy’s fool us. Come winter and your other members, you will be welcomed gentlemen, this Fall in Notre Dame Bay. Hundreds are waiting for to mark their X for you all. Thanking you for space. Yours truly, EVE, New Bay, Jan. 24th
January 20, 1923	In the Court	About ten men were up for taking pit props and were fined $5 and costs. The fines were paid rather than have to spend 14 days in the cells.

January 20, 1923	To the Editor	Dear Sir, - As I read your paper every week I don’t see many letters from Twillingate. May I ask you or your readers a question? Is the world getting better? Mr. Editor some Clergymen and Merchants claim the world is getting better. I wonder if Twillingate is getting better. My opinion is it is getting worse. I suppose those men claim Twillingate is getting better. If it is, Mr. Editor, why have hundreds got to get the relief this winter? Some parties says there is no relief at Wesleyville and none at Little Bay Islands, and why is it, Mr. Editor. I claim there are just as good men in Twillingate as those two places. I suppose they are taxed just as much as we are or else the Merchants is having more than profits. Mr. Editor, I should like to hear from more of your readers, hoping I have not took up too much space in your valuable paper. A. COMIC.

CARTER and WINSOR, held a very successful and enthusiastic public meeting in the Orange Hall here. Both speakers very forcibly and fearlessly outlined their mission, fearlessly to a large interested and appreciative audience, and after the reading resolutions, which demanded a Reduction of Taxation and a half and reckless and extravagant expenditure of our revenue, by the present so called Government client, _______ in history. The speaker in no uncertain, _______ terms, denounced the way that ? Modern Moses and of the F.P.U. who ________ them and fled with contempt when their calamity came, and the respected request from the delegates of the U.F.M. for his help.
January 20, 1923	Morton's Harbor (Part 2)	He ignored them and told them he could do nothing for them and hid in his bungalow at Port Union. These ______ coming from the Delegate who was at one time a strong support of the F.P.U. caused some of the supporters of COAKERISM in the audience to blush, and like Felix, to tremble, but when they told what that beloved paper known as the Advocate, cost the Country the insignificant sum of $50,000 per year, to shout COAKER’s praises and denounce the grab alls, capped the climax, and one honorable citizen called out “Give me a musket and I will go too.” To which all the audience said Amen. The resolutions were highly endorsed by all present, with exception to a few from the Cove. A Committee was then formed to canvas all the other small places, where the delegates find it impossible to visit owing to limited time, though they very much liked to do so, and with a hearty “go to it, we are all you” the meeting closed by singing the National Anthem. Yours truly, SUCCESS
January 20, 1923	Notes from Summerford	The Delegates of the United Fishermen’s Movement, held in the schoolroom on Jan. 31st., a very enthusiastic meeting. Quite a crowed assembled and a very interesting time was spent, and on the following day, Messrs. GATES and WHEELER volunteered to take the speakers to Lewisporte. Are we not growing rapidly with two Government Officials drawing heavy salaries with very short office (only two hours per week)? Is this not long enough when one has to consider Government Officials, doing business for the public in their drawing room or den? Is it not provoking to have so many men standing around one’s private lawn and treading up the tender plant? Can we not have a public office built expressly for such transactions, where those in charge, can devote more time to their work, and giving better satisfaction to the public, and in some place much suitable for those who have business to transact? It has been rumored that Strong’s Island is about to be connected to the main land by a swinging bridge of wood construction, where pedestrians may travel to and fro, without the slightest danger, and where boats of various types may still continue their Shoal Tickle route without difficulty. In fact, timber has been already cut and other preparations made. Will we not want another man of authority to supervise the construction?

A SYMPATHIZER, Leading Tickles West.
March 3, 1923	In Memoriam (Part 1)	James Augustus CLIFT, K.C., M.B.E. District Grand Master A.F. & A.M., R.E. Obit February 1923 – (From Western Star) Thirty-three years ago the subject of these notes was a rising young lawyer, whose office was situated in Scotland Row, St. John’s, which went down in great fire that devastated more than half the Capital city. He was then Worshipful Master of St. John’s Lodge, and in that office raised the writer on the “F.P. of F.” to be a Master Mason. Space will not permit even a glance at the fellowships in the four points in the old Mother Lodge, and at functions in other parts of Terra Nova, but the record is indelibly indented on the enduring tablet of memory. In our reminisces of the “mystic tie” we easily recall the names of Edward (Grand Master of peace renown of the Empire), and locally such names as TASKER, MUNROE, McKAY, WHITEWAY (P.C.), GORDON, PINSET, DULEY, JEANS, BOWDEN, McINTYRE, WRIGHT, PATTEN, GRAY, TEMPLE (Rev.), FREEMAN (Rev.), FRAZER (Rev.), PENNY, MANUEL, ROBERTS, ASHBOURNE, and scores of others, notably, Charles R. DUNDER, D.G.M., of Scottish jurisdiction, whose career closed so tragically a few months ago, and finally, we linger in spirit with the brethren as they pass around the open grave of our faithful and well beloved (and now exalted to the Grand Lodge “not made with hands”). Brother CLIFT, cropping our emblem on the casket which holds his mortal remains to await the great re-union “in the morning”. Here brothers we may meet no more, But there is yet a happier shore, And there released from toil and pain, Dear brothers we shall meet again. Amen! “So mote it be.” S. (P.M.) We offer our sincere sympathy to the family of the late J.A. CLIFT, K.C. on behalf of his old constituents in this District, and the public generally who regret the passing of such an esteemed and respected citizen of the colony.

Before closing please accept my sincere thanks, and if we do not mingle voices here on earth again, may we meet as one choir around the great white throne. Yours Faithfully, E.J. POND, Twillingate Feby. 28.

March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 1)	(Editor Twillingate Sun) – Dear Sir: Feeling assured you will accord me the courtesy of a concise account of the proceedings of the Court held at Morton’s Hbr. last week. After some deliberations and upon receipt of written requests from prominent businessmen of your town, Sir soliciting me to give the facts of the case to the Press. I have decided to do so, although, not soliciting any sympathy remember, from your many readers, although I contemplated to give it to the Press from my cell and behind prison bars. Part 1st. Last March, John CANNING, with a family of six to support, made application to Alex SAMSON of Seal Cove, Government Contractor, to get a chance to cut pulpwood. After obtaining work and getting his camp built, he again visited A. SAMSON to get some food, but to his disappointment, SAMSON hadn’t a pocket-handkerchief full of food to feed his employees, and thus you will see by attached letter, addressed to supply J. CANNING with $20 worth of provisions.
March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 2)	On receipt of this, I wired Minister JENNINGS as per telegram attached, and note his reply as attached. Also JENNINGS must have thought I was out of a job, to engage a team and pilot, and hunt up SAMSON to get this much trade in the first place. I never saw or know where he lives. As J. CANNING and family was practically in a starving condition, I took the chance, and supplied him with the $20, account as per itemized bill attached will show, although I had made advances on him previous to this to greater amounts. March 25th I wrote A. SAMSON, enclosing B.P. for provisions thus supplied, and heard nothing from him, only rumor that he was gone insolvent, and had left the country. I didn’t hear if he took any pulpwood along with him or not to pay his passage. On my annual trip to St. John’s on business in June, I took along this bill with me to get an audience with Minister JENNINGS. Presented it, and after may excuses, he recommended me to the Agriculture And Mines, and after another delay for an audience, was ushered in the Deputy Min. Dept., Mr. TURNER as the Hon. Dr. CAMPBELL was out of town, and after presenting my bill was told there was no funds to pay me, and after some heated discussion.
March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 3)	Why such men as A. SAMSON, should be given a contract to cut 500 cord of pulpwood, with not $1 worth of provisions to feed the laborer, whereupon Mr. TURNER told me this was the man that our Hon. Representative had recommended to the Government. Upon my leaving I intimated to Mr. TURNER there was no other alternative but for me to take the wood, quoting COAKER’s motto Su___ Cuique “to every man his own.” So on Nov 21st. I went to visit my wood at Luke’s Arm and found to my surprise that it was nearly all disappeared. So to secure a part of what I owned I took 100 pieces and brought home, and stored it as a souvenir of my first investment in the pulp wood business. Part 2nd. On last Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., Constable TULK served me with a summons charging me the feloniously stealing of Government pulpwood from Luke’s Arm, and on Friday I appeared in the Orange Hall where Court was held and a large gathering was present to hear the case.
March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 4)	After hearing the others that was on trial, charged with stealing one to two schooner loads of pulpwood, who admitted their guilt and was fined $4 and cost $1 each – total $5. I came last and admitted that I had some pulpwood, but not the Government's, as I had bought and paid for it before it was cut even, and produced my evidence as per enclosed. Court adjourned and Const. TULK came over and I showed him the wood I was holding as security for my money; 100 pcs and small wood at that. Court again resumed at 3 p.m. and after I again reiterated my defense, judgment was given against me and fine of $20 or two months in the Penitentiary at St. John’s, as the Const. told me all the cells at Twillingate was filled up.
March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 5)	After a short while in custody at Mr. KNIGHT’s where the court boarded, I was allowed home, and made arrangement with my Clerk, Miss M. LOCKE, to look after the business and my wife and little 12 year old girl, to manage the cow and pony, and my mother on her 87th birthday. Of course, J. and Elizabeth would see to her, and after wishing them adieu and expecting to get a trip to St. John’s at the expense of the Government, I was disappointed to find that the Const. hadn’t ordered the Mounted Police to take me to Lewisporte, and so I didn’t get the trip as I anticipated. I have since been informed that the Gov’t hasn’t paid A. SAMSON for the wood; then how can they claim what I have, when neither of them has paid me. (To be concluded) Yours truly, Paul P. SMALL
March 3, 1923	Mr. SMALL Explains (Part 6)	Seal Cove, Friday’s Bay – Mr. SMALL, Bridgeporte, Dear Sir: - Mr. John CANNINGS is cutting Pulp Wood for me at Luke’s Arm. I am contracted with the Government for 500 cords wood but I cannot say when they will pay me for it. Anyway whenever the final scale is made, the Dept. of Ag. and Mines will forward the cheque for wood scaled. This man wishes me to give him an order on you for a little supplies. So if you would supply him with twenty dollars worth at my account against this contract, you would greatly convenience him and oblige me. Yours truly, Alex SANSOME. Order – Supplies to the amt. of $20.00 only A.S.

There is some parties who say that I had relief last winter and that Mr. ASHBOURNE got it for me, but I did not, and Mr. ASHBOURNE and Mr. WHITE is able to clear me of this. But if that party had worked last fall and the winter, as I did, perhaps they would not have to have it. I know the parties that said I had it last fall, when at the same time I was going up to St. John’s in December, shivering with the cold, while they were home sleeping and having the Government food, so I think it is better for these parties to mind their own business. But I think it is hard for them to do. Thanking you for space in your valuable paper. I am yours truly, Obadiah JENKINS, Boston, Jul 14th –23

Now we leave you with the Saviour, In the home above the blue.” Inserted by his aunt Harriett CHURCHILL.
August 18, 1923	Improvements Needed	Much has been said in reference to the trolleyway from Dark Hole, Dildo, over the short neck of land at Virgin Arm, and at present it needs immediate repairs so that it would be easier to get boats and luggage over, at times when it is impossible to come outside by water. The ties have been cut for relaying the track and the rails need fishplates to make freighting easy, and the track might easily be extended from water to water on both sides, with a capstain and tackle to help on the up grade. If there is any hope of getting any money – if there is none at hand – it would be well spent, if used on making Dark Hole Neck a short route thoroughfare, so that people could use it when needed especially at times of emergency. Only a few dollars is needed to put this short line route in splendid condition.

A good cure should result, because people has not been overstocked this year, and with a good cure the market will be more surer.

August 25, 1923	Advertisement	Previous to the world war and during that period, certain lines of produce represented cash to the supplier and producer. To-day this is not so; no longer, it seems, or at any rate since my entering business, have we sold any produce at a profit. In order to meet heavy trade expenses we must have a margin above our cash competitor for barter, in order to protect ourselves against fluctuating prices in the markets, which in nine cases out of ten are against us; this is evident. The above defines our position with regard to our additional 2 per cent on goods for produce, particularly fresh salmon. For the future we have decided to meet competition for cash. To be able to do this you observe we have cut our trade expenses in half this month. E. ROBERTS & Co.

He bore his age well and up to two weeks before his death, he was quite hearty. When sickness came, he endured it patiently until the end, and then he passed as if falling asleep. Mr. TUFFIN was a man respected by all who knew him, he has lived a Christian life for quite a number of years, and he has been leader in class meetings and other religious services. Such men as him is scarce to be found. Who will be the next to perform such noble work as he did. The writer of this faileth to see, but hopes some other will perform such good work as the late Mr. TUFFIN did. His remains was laid to rest in the Methodist Cemetery. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. Mr. MORGAN. He leaves an aged widow, two sons, one daughter a number of grand and great grand children to mourn their loss. “He liveth long who liveth well; All else has been flung away. He liveth longest, who can Tell? Of true things truly done each day.” At the close of service in the Cemetery, his favorite hymn was sung: Ho! Who are the reapers, etc. A Sincere Friend, Herring Neck, Sept. 6th.

The Clyde was ordered to Upper Black Island on Saturday to assist in getting off a pit prop steamer, which went ashore on way out to England, having been loaded by Mr. MARTIN.

September 8, 1923	"Kick the Bucket"	Did you ever hear the expression “Kick the bucket.”? It arose in the days of the great gold rush to California and Australia in 1849. Many unfortunate seekers after gold, losing their all in an unavailing effort to find the precious “dust” committed suicide. The suicide tied a rope to a beam in his hut. Then, standing on an upturned bucket, he would adjust the other end of the rope round his neck. When all was ready, he simply kicked the bucket from under his feet.

The accident happened on Kennedy Road while on the way from Ringwood where they had been visiting friends. They left Toronto at 6:30 p.m. and upon returning, Mr. YOUNG mistook the road and when trying to swerve back, the car overturned and he was instantly killed, his skull having been crushed. His wife and children escaped with some injuries and are now doing well. Mr. YOUNG was 37 years of age and lived on 150 Emerson Ave., and was a well known carpenter and a member of the Brotherhood of Carpenters. A devout Christian, he attended the Dovercourt Citadel of the Salvation Army. He married Mrs. John WISEMAN of Nova Scotia, who had a son Whitfield, which was the means of comforting his mother in her grief. Mr. YOUNG’s daughter, Annie, aged 12 was left in care of friends at Toronto while the other members of the family were to Ringwood. His other children were Archie and George. The SUN tenders sympathy to the bereaved family.
September 8, 1923	English Clergyman	On page 3 of this issue our readers will find an extract taken from The Christian Herald, an English weekly journal, in which an incident is recorded in reference to the late Henry Francis LYTE. Most know of some of his work as a hymn writer and what seems to have brought him into prominence more than anything else, is when he gave a familiar hymn, “Abide with me” and others composed by him made him popular in England and other countries. He was a brother of Mr. Thomas M. LYTE and Mr. John LYTE, who did Commercial business here, and at Tizzard’s Hr. with Mr. John CANTWELL, about 90 years ago. Mr. Thos. LYTE did most of the business at Twillingate, on the stand now occupied by Mr. G. BLANDFORD for Mr. CARTER. The LYTES came first to Fogo after leaving Brixham, and did a little business before coming here. They used to delight in fishing, sealing and whatever sport they could find time to indulge in. During 1835 the three business partners left on a Sunday quest of seals off Front Hr., Gull Island, and after spending the day, became partially blind, and never regained their eyesight as before, and Thos. became totally blind before he died on March 5, 1851. He was an uncle of Mr. A.J. PEARCE, having married Miss Ann PEARCE, a sister of the later Joseph James PEARCE.
September 8, 1923	Coal Supply	From present outlook it seems that Twillingate may be fairly well supplied with coal the coming winter, and by the stocking of wood compared with other years, the people should fare better than last year. Those who find it more convenient to buy later on, may also be able to purchase their requirements, as quite a lot has been stored. There has been brought in this season about 800 tons of coal, and while this is a lot more than landed last year, yet it is not much more than half of what used to be landed by firms here, some years ago. Bearing in mind the stringency of the times, it is no doubt hard for some folk who need coal, to find the ready money, but some coal importers have been able to accommodate their customers somewhat, and in their being fortunate enough to have coal come in, much anxiety as to a sufficiency has been appeased. The strike at Sydney did not affect the price owing to no increase in wages being made.
September 8, 1923	New Leader of Salvation Army	Colonel and Mrs. CLOUD arrived by motorboat on Saturday evening last, and received a public welcome in the S.A. Citadel at 8 p.m. They were introduced by Magistrate MIFFLEN, who paid a tribute to the visiting party as well. On Sunday, services were conducted by the new Leaders and large attendance was evident. During the past week services were also held. Colonel and Mrs. CLOUD have been appointed by the General to succeed Colonel and Mrs. MARTIN as Sub-Territorial Leaders of Newfoundland, and they are direct from the Old Country. Colonel and Mrs. MARTIN spent three and a half years in Newfoundland and now taking up work in Canada.

September 8, 1923	Letter from W. GARD (Part 1)	(Editor Twillingate Sun) Dear Sir, Since my last writing to you I have had the pleasure of visiting Boston, that flourishing city of Uncle Sam, having left here on August 3rd and returning on the 12th. During my short stay there I saw many old friends and relatives, such as my Uncle, whom I have not seen for eighteen years, also Mr. Walter HODDER, Win COLBOURNE, the YOUNG’s boys and lot of others. While there I took a great fancy to the subways, through which I used to take many rides, the most interesting is going under the Harbour to East Boston. There are also elevated and surface cars. The Boston Street Car Service has Montreal beat as far as speed and comfort is concerned. As you know, the States are mourning thirty days for the late President HARDING, so during my stay there, sports were not going ahead as they would have been otherwise.
September 8, 1923	Letter from W. GARD (Part 2)	On Tuesday, I visited the State House and spent three hours there, seen the statutes of all the late Presidents, such as COX, FRANKLIN and others; also those of America’s greatest Statesmen, who have lived their day – “Lives of great men all reminds us, They may make our lives sub line.” Then there was the “Alley of Flags” comprising all the flags that were used during all of the American wars from the early days of the nation up to the great conflict of 1914-18. The building is made of white marble. There are thousands of people parading through the State House daily. On Wednesday 8th, Mr. John LINFIELD came to our home at 10 a.m. to spend the day with me in Boston City. Enroute through the City I could not but gaze on the old home of the late Paul REVERE, that one whose footprints are still in the sands of time. We visited the Public Library, and read some Telegrams from St. John’s, Nfld. Having spent an hour there we left for the Museum, arriving at 1 p.m. and left again at 4.
September 8, 1923	Letter from W. GARD (Part 3)	While there, we seen and read tablets, statutes and monuments from all over the world, and then went to Bunker Hill Monument hoping to be in time to got to the top of it, but were disappointed finding out that the guard had left five minutes before our arrival. While there we obtained several views of the city. On Thursday, I went to Revere Beach and saw thousands swimming, also witnessed several seaplanes roaring into the air. President HARDING being buried on Friday, memorial services were held all over the States. One which we attended was held in Boston Garden which comprised 20,000 people. The service was conducted by a Major of the Salvation Army. I could write more of my vacation experience, but time will not permit to do so. The weather bureau prophesies a very severe winter here, being very cold this morning at 8 am; most of the out-goers tonight wore their overcoats. I read in the papers a little while ago about Sir R.A. SQUIRES being in Montreal. Yours for Prosperity, W.W. GARD, Montreal, Aug 22, 1923.

September 8, 1923	Advertisement	We are very pleased to inform our coal customers, and the public generally, that the load of Coal brought in by the schooner LeBerge was practically financed by the people themselves from the ship’s side. This is a fine style of business in these distressing times, as it just about takes all the Merchant’s time now-a-days to obtain adequate food supplies, etc., to accommodate the fishery. We are optimistic enough to think that the time is not far distant when the supplier and supplied will pull better together. All we need to-day is a right understanding as to the actual dealings of both parties. We are as usual Bartering Produce at current price. E. ROBERTS & Co. Personal Note – I have reached a point in my business affairs at Twillingate when it is absolutely necessary for me to make plain my past business procedure. That the public has been grossly misinformed as to my personal relation to the old firm of which I was the senior partner, also my private business which was operated under my own signature, namely, the vessel venture of which I was the largest shareholder and Managing Director, goes without saying. I shall endeavor in the near future to throw some light as to my position, having regard to both business ventures, and the compromise which I personally had effected, to save the same from liquidation. E. ROBERTS

November 24, 1923	Herring Fishery Starts at Bay of Islands	Eleven dollars per barrel offered for Scotch Cure. News reached the city during the week from Bay of Islands that the herring fishery has begun at that place, and that at Middle Arm particularly the fish are plentiful and of excellent size and quality. The fishermen are hard at work and some 12 sail of American vessels are there for cargoes offering $2.00 per barrel from the net. To provide against the waste in small herring, so noticeable a feat of this fishery in former years, nets of larger mesh are being used, and this is a change which must have beneficial effect on this fishery. Some purchasers of the Scotch Cure fish arrived in the city recently, and offer $11.00 per barrel for Curling, but packers think this will advance in a short while and are not anxious to sell at the figure mentioned. – Trade Review.

CROWE is providing employment for about 500 families, although the problem with the CROWE proposition is to find accommodation, as all the men have brought their families with them. The labor given this winter will curtail the giving out of relief to a large extent. Maybe in certain places there will be no relief needed.

November 24, 1923	Prisoner Released	In the case of Laura PYE, who was charged with murdering her child, the jury disagreed and the prisoner was released, to appear if she should be again called upon. Mr. HIGGINS, who appeared for the defendant, addressed the jury, as also did Mr. H.A. WINTER for the Crown, and it appealed to the court that it was a pitiful case, wherein the mother was in desperate straits to provide for herself and the infant, and as her husband was away, no means could be had in such time to assure protection. Mrs. PYE was on a vacation from Halifax, and while at Carbonear, she called on a Mrs. CLARKE, who apparently showed herself very unkind to this woman and child, to the extent that she stayed for a time in the hills and in the woods, afterwards deciding to end the life of herself and child, and jumped over a wharf at Crocker’s Cove. She then waded ashore again as she regained her senses, and claimed the child was not drowned, but died of exposure in the woods. The Jury did not agree, even after summing up of the Chief Justice, that three offences might be considered, that of murder, of manslaughter, or willful neglect.
November 24, 1923	Whaling Voyage Over	Cabot and Cachelot had fairly successful season. St. John’s – The whaler Cabot which with the “Cacelot” had been at work all summer off the Funks, with headquarters at Beaverton, gave up the fishery during the week. Both ships secured about 75 whales, but would have done better had they not been handicapped with bad weather for some weeks in the early part of the season. There is an excellent demand at present for whale oil at Liverpool, Glasgow and Rotterdam, and the average price obtained is £35 sterling the ton. The management of the company now realize that they would have fared better had the ships been sent to the Labrador coast, but can console themselves with the thought that in their experiment, they did not lose money, and that given reasonably favourable conditions next year, their venture will prove a success, with Labrador waters as the scene of their operations. – Trade Review.
